Wind Power

Wind Power

The Bonneville Power Administration strongly supports Northwest wind power development. We have more than 2,500 megawatts of wind power connected to our grid today and expect to have up to 6,000 MW by 2013. We are facilitating wind power's growth by:

  • Building and financing wind-integration transmission,
  • Revamping grid operation to handle large amounts of variable generation,
  • Creating new wind power friendly business practices.
